        "question": "From which U.S. cities can I fly to Montevideo?",
        "answer": "Miami is the main departure city in the United States for flying to Montevideo, with nonstop service on American Airlines operating once daily and taking about 9 hours 15 minutes. Travelers from other US cities typically connect through Miami, which serves as the primary gateway to Montevideo. When choosing a departure city, travelers generally weigh proximity to their home airport against the frequency of flights available, with Miami offering the most direct and convenient option for this route.",
        "methodology": "The U.S. departure cities with nonstop service to this destination and their weekly frequencies come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We identify every U.S. airport with scheduled nonstop service, group airports into their metropolitan areas, and rank cities by scheduled weekly departures.",

        "methodology": "Flight times from each U.S. departure city come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI); the typical time is the median scheduled duration of that city's nonstop services to this destination.",

Red-eye flights are available on this route.",

      "q5": {
        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly to Montevideo?",
        "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from the United States to Montevideo are typically April through June and August through early December, when demand is lower in both countries. Midweek departures, especially on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and early morning or late night flights often yield lower fares, and booking one to three months ahead helps avoid price spikes during the U.S. summer and Uruguay's peak season from December to February."

      "q6": {
        "question": "How far in advance should I book flights to Montevideo?",
        "answer": "There is no reliable booking window for flights from the United States to Montevideo. For an international trip like this, it's generally wise to start looking several months ahead, but flexibility with dates can help you find better fares.",

      },
      "q10": {
        "question": "What time of day is usually cheapest for flights to Montevideo?",
        "answer": "Afternoon departures tend to be the cheapest time of day for flights from the United States to Montevideo, with a best-time fare around $953 compared to an average of $1,046 across all times. Note that this reflects typical pricing rather than a guaranteed floor, and the route's limited origin count means time-of-day differences are modest.",

The airport is served by public transit and a private taxi service connecting to Montevideo and Punta del Este. There is no airport train or metro link, so ground transport into the city centre relies on buses and taxis, with typical travel times of around 30–45 minutes depending on traffic.",

The airport itself is open 24 hours, and travelers report comfortable padded benches and a quiet third-floor terrace for resting.",
